Devon’s passion lies in understanding how life works, which shines through in both his professional and personal pursuits. Raised in a military family and homeschooled, Devon is driven by curiosity and a desire to serve others.

When he's not diving into complex tech projects, you’ll find him learning new skills, serving at his church, or discovering small businesses doing incredible things.

Currently, he's working toward his Bachelor's in Information Systems, always aiming to help others succeed through technology.

Aya is a marketer who thrives at the intersection of storytelling and strategy. With over five years of experience in content strategy, she’s helped startups grow through no-fluff content, smart automation, and data-driven campaigns.

She cut her teeth in marketing as a copywriter, putting together everything from how-to posts to C-suite thought leadership, before diving headfirst into lifecycle marketing. Today she's excited about building seamless customer journeys through segmentation, automation, and creative engagement.

When she’s not deep in marketing funnels, you’ll find Aya lost in a good book, figuring out how to blend creativity and strategy, or working on her own writing projects. She’s passionate about the power of words to connect, inspire, and drive growth—whether in business or beyond.

Vincelle has been working as a social media manager since 2022 helping small business owners grow their online presence and connect with their audience. She enjoys telling stories, building relationships, and finding creative ways to help a brand stand out.

As an introvert, Vincelle thrive in independent work, but still values virtual collaboration. She loves sharing ideas, trying new strategies, and helping clients achieve their goals in a smart and effective way.

Outside of work, Vincelle recharges through walks or jogs, discovering new foods, and immersing herself in movies or books. She strives to stay curious and open to new experiences that enrich her personal live but also brings fresh perspectives to her team and clients!

Jelsie thrives on helping others succeed. She loves being behind the scenes, providing the support that helps bold ideas come to life and making sure everything runs smoothly. It brings her real joy to know that her work makes things easier for others and helps them shine.

As a bubbly introvert, Jelsie brings a thoughtful and authentic approach to everything she do. Outside of work, you’ll usually find her with a cup of coffee, zoning out to recharge, or diving into computer games. She enjoy deep conversations, quiet moments, and finding joy in the simple things—all while making sure the people she works with feel seen, heard, and supported.

Chrissy is Grow Disrupt’s resident night owl, meme enthusiast, and project management powerhouse. Based in Las Vegas (yes, the city that never sleeps—just like her), Chrissy is a proud mom of two boys, wife to an amazing husband, and somehow still finds time to pursue both a master’s degree and an editorial certification.

She keeps the team on track with an eerie sixth sense for deadlines and dependencies, and an unmatched talent for turning chaos into order—even when she has COVID. When she’s not building workflows in ClickUp or streamlining systems, you’ll find her devouring one of the 150+ books she reads a year or quietly obsessing over centaurs (it’s a whole thing, we love her for it).

Suzanne brings a keen eye for aesthetics and a love for clean, minimalist design to everything she creates. After starting her career in finance as an analyst, she pivoted into the world of digital marketing and never looked back. What began as a freelance VA role with a marketing agency quickly evolved into a passion for social media management—and she’s been thriving in the creative space ever since.

She’s worked with clients across industries including hospitality, health and wellness, fashion, and e-commerce, always bringing a thoughtful, intentional approach to content and design. When she’s not creating beautiful visuals, Suzanne is chasing waves, exploring new cities, or hunting down the best eats wherever she lands. A surfer, freediver, traveler, and unapologetic foodie, she lives for freedom and flexibility—and brings that same energy and curiosity to her work every day.
